The COMMIT (COMMIT_FORM) statement analyses the blocks that exist in your form. If you change a table independently from the declared blocks then the form does not think that it has any changes to save. Hence the message.

Use 'standard.commit' this bypasses any checking and does just that which you asked - commit, now!! Smile

Thanks for ur reply.
iam able to do it now! thanks a lot.
plz clarify one point.as you said that

"The COMMIT (COMMIT_FORM) statement analyses the blocks that exist in your form. If you change a table independently from the declared blocks then the form does not think that it has any changes to save. Hence the message."

sir, but i have written the update statement in the when-button-pressed trigger which is under the block .thus i think that i have change the table in the data block and not independently from the block.

--excuse me if it seems stupid as iam a new user of D2K--

You can bypass this by raising the message level.

DECLARE
  -- Capture the original message level, to reset afterwards.
  v_message_level PLS_INTEGER := :SYSTEM.MESSAGE_LEVEL;
BEGIN
  -- Raise the message level above 5, avoid information messages.
  -- Read the Forms help file for more info
  :SYSTEM.MESSAGE_LEVEL := 5;

  COMMIT_FORM;

  -- Reset the message level to the original value
  :SYSTEM.MESSAGE_LEVEL := v_message_level;
END;

The message means that no database items in the Form have changed, so the BLOCK_STATUS is still in QUERY_STATUS. As a result, for Forms default transaction processing, there's nothing to save.

Alternatively, you can set the record status manually to changed_status, thus avoiding the message.

MHE's suggestion to change the status of the current block to 'CHANGED' is a good idea.

If you only set the MESSAGE_LEVEL higher than 0 be careful that you don't have an exception clause in the execution block because the 'no changes to save' will be trapped by the exception condition and any code after the COMMIT_FORM will be bypassed and the database may not be committed. [This non-commital MAY NO LONGER happen, but it DID happen in some previous versions of Forms.] Always be extremely careful when raising ANY condition, especially when performing maintenance on a highly modified form.
